Star Trek : Voyager VOY

Star Trek Enterprise Ent

I grew up on The Only Series.
Trek's New Guise was good in a lot of ways, but I hated the perfect humans and early "surrender-monkey" Picard.
DS9 was better, and got more so the more it ripped off B5.
VOY had some good ideas, but was too uneven in execution.
Early Nu Trek just didn't work for me.
JJ Trek had excellent dialogue and characterization, and some awesome ideas - loved Sulu's sword! - but the plot made no sense whatsoever, and had too much slapstick.

I got hooked during Star Trek's first run NBC broadcasts, so it's my overall favorite, though I'm receptive to all the subsequent tv/film spinoffs. Though every incarnation has individual things I like and dislike.

One on-set thing I disliked was the development of a single helm position on the bridge, that I think first appeared on the USS Defiant. I missed the navigator position, even though it was a cost-saving move, because they didn't have to pay an N.D. Extra to sit punching buttons while a regular character had all the dialogue. It made sense to me for the Defiant due to its size, but then it carried into Voyager's bridge too. But when NX Enterprise, set 200 years earlier, had the same single pilot console, I was disappointed. I thought it should have foreshadowed NCC-1701's helm/nav design.

DS9 actually debuted a full month before B5... if you count that pilot movie that aired a full year before a full season anyways... So it would seem much more likely B5 ripped off DS9 than the reverse.... though forbid the likelihood of two separate entities come up with a similar concept.

Whoa! Chill, folks! I don't care if you're hardcore Niners or casual Fivers. I saw it that way, and I stand by my statement that the more DS9 copied JMS' style, the better they got. TNG avoided arcs, B5 built them, DS9 partially embraced them.

If that offends you, tough. Don't spazz just because I don't buy the apologia.

Now, can we get back to which Trek is people's favorite, and why? Although I do notice Galaxy Quest is missing from the list...
